Electronics and batteries
Phones, laptops and other devices sit beside EV and lithium-ion batteries. Each follows its own pathway, on one shared platform.
Closing the circularity gap
A verified next life for every retired device and lithium-ion battery.
Second Electronic Rebirth through Circular Use & Fair Exchange. An AI-assisted circular platform for electronics and EV / Li-ion batteries.
About Sercufe
Sercufe is building CircuLife, an AI-assisted platform that gives retired electronics and lithium-ion batteries a verified next life. The name stands for Second Electronic Rebirth through Circular Use & Fair Exchange.
Assess, then match
An asset is assessed, given a recommended next life, and matched to a repairer, refurbisher, second-life specialist or recycler.
A record that stays
From pickup to the final outcome, every asset keeps a Digital Passport so households, businesses and partners can see where it went.
Waste is outpacing formal capacity
India's e-waste stream is growing faster than the systems built to handle it.
3.5×
Generation is roughly three and a half times formal recycling capacity. Computer equipment makes up about 65% of the stream, and used lithium-ion batteries add a growing, safety-sensitive flow that needs specialist handling.
60–70%of e-waste comes from households
~65%of the stream is computer equipment
Why the gap persists
The post-use journey is fragmented for everyone involved. Pick a perspective.
Follow one asset to its next life
CircuLife connects each retired asset to its best next-life pathway and the right processing partner. Describe an asset and watch it move through the six stages.
Illustrative demo. Real assessments combine AI-assisted inputs with partner diagnostics.
